There were evenings when Edie and Susan would play Old Maid, a card game, or Go Fish. Also, checkers, which Susan found all the games in someone's trash. Edie told her not to do that because people would think they were poor. Well, they were. Edie had a lot of pride.
The evenings were fun. Playing games sitting at the booth by the light from the Coca-Cola clock. The two of them made their own fun.
Lizzy got a small Christmas tree and Susan was so happy because she was wondering where they were going to get one and Christmas was just four days away. What to do for decorations? Lizzy said she would take Susan up to the sister's store and see what they had. The sister's store was kind of a general store. So off they went. There wasn't much left in the Christmas department but junk. Susan suggested she go to the paper department. She picked out some pretty pieces of paper all different colors. Mama paid for it and they went home.
